TyeMeka’s Soul Food

Food is great & the customer service is excellent. I also love the home style atmosphere. Thanks Tyemeka’s!!!

Food doesn’t get much better… Great neighborhood spot. Everything I’ve had here is great especially that Chicken, Shrimp & Broccoli cheesesteak! Awesome down to earth staff…

Horrible. This food is out of a can and they barely spare the meat. This is not soul food. I was extremely disappointed. People who praise this place are friends and family. There is no way you should be able to serve this food; Nor should they be proud.
I love supporting my own culture but I will not be coming back here.

I live a few blocks from here and just used the free ATM at the 14^th Police Station. When I turned right at Germantown Avenue I remembered this Soul food Restaurant. It’s a family business. Kenny Latimore and Yazz from Empire have been here and have photos on the wall. The food is excellent!!!

Horrible!!! Don’t waste your time! Aside from there NOT being even average customer service (tyemeka was talking, no screaming into the phone as we were ordering), the Mac & cheese was old and flavorless, the cabbage tasted as if sugar was added (way too sweet) and the greens and string beans tasted as if they were out of a can. Rice was average and the meatloaf was just ok. Definitely not worth the 24.00 that we dropped. The 3 wings in the large platter was tasty after waiting 15 minutes for it. Wow, so disappointed! While I tend to always patronize my own, I will not return.

I decided to stop here for a good soul food meal on a rainy day, Place is clean, Food was average, It’s clean soul food, Idk of you kno what I mean by that but I like my soul food with some creativity and plenty of flavor and seasoning well actually Just don’t eat the greens please all the seasoning that could’ve been on my crab cakes was on the collard green but anyway about those crab cakes, The dad piped me up to get them and they were terrible, I was gonna go back to try the chicken and broccoli cheese steak but I’ll continue to go to Paprika

I was hungry for some Soul Food and believe me there’s no substitute for that when you crave it.
I live in Germantown and TyeMeka’s is nearby.
When I drove up to the restaurant there were a few guys hanging in front of the spot, but I could tell that they were not hostile because there was a barbershop next door and a police station around the corner.
I went into the restaurant and immediately noticed that it was very clean and brite, but I was having takeout tonight. I was greeted by 2 very beautiful young ladies behind a counter with lots of desserts on display.
One of the young ladies asked me what I would like to order and I looked up at the huge menu attached to the wall. She gave me a printed menu and said it would be easier to read. After going over the many options, I decided on a platter with 4 fried chicken wings and collard greens and mac& cheese, she said that I have to try their potato salad because it was delicious so I ordered that too.
Surprisingly the tab came to less than $ 10. I was having a conversation with her about the business and she told me that it was a family owned and run restaurant that had been open for years. She was so young, her breath smelled like Carnation milk and it was hard to believe that she knew so much about the business.
After drowning my wings and greens in hot sauce I was on my way home. A few minutes and 1 devoured chicken wing later, I arrived home to finish off my prey. The wings were crispy and seasoned well, the greens were smokey & tender, the mac & cheese was cheesy and with a slight crunch on the top, and the potato salad was everything she said it would be!
I had a great meal and I’m looking forward to trying more of TyeMeka’s good olé home-​style cooking.

No complaints about the food, customer service is friendly and pleasant… but the marijuana smell through the small restaurant is a problem… Even though the food was good I don’t think I’ll go back… hate to see a business go down due to professionalism

As much as i can’t stand to bare bad news, this place did not quite fit the bill. Especially not my 36 bills.
First, the place reeked of marijuana. The space was fairly clean. The service was great. The staff were polite and helpful. I especially enjoyed watching old episodes of Fred Sanford while waiting for my food.
Now that food… smh. I had a crab cake platter with cabbage and greens. The crab cakes were full of imperial and pinchings of crab meat. The cabbage was sweet and the greens taste like they were fresh mixed with Glory.
I enjoyed the entertainment, i appreciated the staff but the food was bottom.
Sorry, i had to tell the truth.

It’s always awesome to have soul food pretty much within a block from your apartment. The atmosphere here is chill but I wouldn’t recommend eating in. What I would recommend is taking some type of hypertension meds because you’re about to ingest a couple pounds of salt. Okay maybe I’m over exaggerating but I couldn’t eat my chicken cheese steak because it was that bad. My old lady had the wings, Mac and cheese and yams. Pretty good price and the sides were ok. I wouldn’t go back though because I really need to live without high blood pressure.

I’ve only been once. First impressions are everything. It’s a very small place. Not recommended to sit in and eat. The fact that there were a few guys standing around talking about their women didn’t help. But since this place got good reviews previously I figured I’d stick it out and give them a try. I ordered crab cakes, mac & cheese, and greens. The greens and mac & cheese were fine but I was not looking for a side of hypertension with my crab cakes. It seemed like they wanted to be good but the salt messed it up for me. I couldn’t enjoy it. Had it not been for that I might have given this place a better rating… as it could’ve been a hole-​in-​the-​wall hide-​away. Maybe the other food is good but I’m hesitant to try after this.
A-​OK is generous but since all of the food wasn’t nasty…

Great Food! I had the crab cakes, butterfly shrimp, greens and mac and cheese. Everything, I mean Everything is delicious!!! Tyemeka got it going on! Prices are so reasonable they are on the radar everytime I ride by. Definitely a winner.
